Miss the players and the announcers . Golden era for sure

[@craigpaulson3503]

This is one of my favorite Lions games from the Barry Sanders era. He rushed for 37 yards in the first half, yet he finished the game with 237 yards. That 2nd half was amazing. No one could stop him.

[@eijiroinouye4115]

If Barry ran this well in the wild card round against Green Bay, Detroit would have won that game.

[@chrisuncleahmad]

Barry's 200 yard 2nd half was the culmination of one of the great Sundays in NFL history All but 1 Sunday game was decided by a touchdown or less which included: Drew Bledsoe's historic 45 completions on 70 attempts in a 20 point comeback OT win, a huge Chargers/Chiefs AFC West showdown, a thrilling Falcons/Saints shootout, the Bears upset win in Miami, and the Cowboys/49ers clash of the titans.

[@bretthosmer6770]

Barry rushes for 237 yards and still barely beat the Bucs at home. So typical of the Lions in those days.

[@chrisorr4902]

Yes, the Barry Sanders Ers was the best thing for the Detriot Lions.

[@tonyjohnson2500]

Barry was unstoppable! One of his greatest games!

[@user-fo6oj3qy3p]

I wanna go back to these days.

[@kevinpeabody3493]

So much overall talent on the Lions teams of the 90s. So disappointing that they never accomplished more.

[@warrenkemmer1307]

QB most important position was their downfall. Also some dumb coaching at times.

[@SteveAustin-jp3ev]

They had decent quarterbacks. Marino and Montana were on others teams. Their linebackers and secondary was their problem from 1973 to 2023.

[@manuginobilisbaldspot424]

Wayne Fontes on his seemingly annual rise from the dead (hence the nickname Rasputin) to lift the Lions to the postseason.

[@justi139]

Only to lose. Let’s say it all together….to the packers…lol

[@LogoAttitude]

This game was blacked out in Detroit and other markets within 75 miles of the Silverdome

[@Guissipi1]

My dad was at this game 👍.

[@HeWhoIsNamedPatrick]

If sanders would have had a fullback from his rookie year he would have had 20k, 200 rushing TDs and 2-3 2000 yard seasons by time he retired.

[@GlendonPerkinsgp]

These videos are such magnificent time capsules. Trent Dilfer was the quarterback of the future. The Bucs did wear tangerine. ESPN did have a great crew for Sunday Night Football (hint NBC). Scott Mitchell continues to be one of the worst free agent signings of all time (although he isn’t in this game). Jason Hanson should be a HoFer. And Barry Sanders was the greatest back of all time and was the greatest back in an era of great backs.

[@eijiroinouye4115]

Dave Krieg may be inducted in the Hall of Fame

[@cbod14]

Unreal that The Eagles missed the postseason at 7-3 and the 4-5 Lions made it

[@epiclionsault92]

One team had Rich Kotite as their coach, the other had Wayne Fontes

[@bowlchamps37]

It´s a little misleading, cause it´s not "at" but "after being"

[@patrick19761976ify]

The 8-8 Cleveland Browns won the AFC CENTRAL Division in 1985, and should have beaten the Dolphins in the first round

[@jessiehenry5405]

​@@patrick19761976ifyno it Should Be Denver

[@DavidBush-wm1fe]

Barry with 237 yards and the Bucs with 3 face mask calls trying to stop him!

[@johnkowalchuk4586]

I was at that game... unbelievably memorable

[@mudbone3276]

We were there!!!

[@TheFarmGang1]

Who is we?

[@crawford371]

Game blacked out in Detroit area and flint Saginaw because the silverdome was in Pontiac and those two cities flint and saginaw was in the 75 mile radius of the stadium

[@andrewfrantz5502]

Sam Wyche 1945-2020.

[@randyjohnson6845]

Happy birthday Errict Rhett

[@chrisorr4902]

Broderick Thomas started his NFL career with the Buccaneers.

[@larky368]

How many thousands of tickets did Sanders sell? I mean people who paid just to see him play.

[@REXX399]

Finally.....

[@bullock4211]

Erickson sort of looks like Drew Bledsoe

[@nflmatchuphighlights]

Do you happen to have any Falcons games from 1990-1993?

[@rustyshackleford1114]

I have the 1993 Bucs/Falcons game.

[@visby2548]

28:28 McRae

[@eijiroinouye4115]

Dave Krieg for HOF😅

[@dgendvil]

Craig Erickson could have been a good quarterback, had he played in the CFL.

[@andrewfrantz5502]

Lamar Leachman 1933-2013.

[@wham13456]

Do you any more from 1978 1979

[@ilikesports]

Don't currently have any upcoming in the next week or so but will definitely have more in the near future.

[@rustyshackleford1114]

Ugh. Another close Bucs loss in 1994, all due to the crappy play of Trent Dilfer.

[@Chenglor91]

You mean Craig Erickson. Not Trent Dilfer. Dilfer did not play in this game & Dilfer only started 2 games in 1994.

[@comfortat]

Watching two bad football teams play each other is horrible, even if it's a close game.

[@brianlinstrom4078]

How much has the announcer had to drink? He can't get teams or players right. 🥃
